Bed & Breakfast – Daily Object Writing – Oct 16
Oct 15th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Daily WritingSinking down into a lumpy bed with fresh lemon linen, face rubbing and delighting in the newness. Sleep of the exhausted, muscles weighed down with lead from another 20 kilometers, now the safe haven. The island in the stream. Framed prints of blandness adorn walls. Toiletries supplied. Tiny shampoos and soaps in push button dispensers. Towels soft and supple wait to embrace you. Bathroom light is also a heater- a temporary sun against the bleakness outside. Bathe in its glory as streams of heat wash over. Lemon scented fragrant sheets merge into marmalade mornings with shades of bacon and egg. The sleepy feet of morning crunch over the coals of toasted bread in a dining room whiter than heaven. Hot shower pelts tired skin forming neighbouring globules of domed water. TV singing news and information from its nest in the wall. Corridors echoing with expectant footsteps of hope. Dreams and hopes safe inside the fortress wall. Private, locked inside.
